| Stenotaphrum
secundatum (buffalo grass) is lawn grass that has
sometimes become naturalised. It is a coarse spreading
species. The leaves are usually in one row on either side of
the stem. The leaves are flat and broad (up to 9 mm wide)
with the ligule in the form of a line of hairs. The
inflorescence is a very short dense panicle, with small
awnless spikelets arranged on one side of a broad flat axis.
The spikes have one fertile floret subtended by a male or
sterile flower. |
